[Verse 1]
Lonely one at young so broken-hearted
Traveling down the rigid road of life
Using Pharmaceutical extractions
To find their paradises
Finds the high but comes down
Feeling lower
Gets down on their knees and
Starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
To hear a voice that says

[Chorus]
You will know, troubled heart
You'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
You will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Every life has reasons for I made it so
You'll know

[Verse 2]
Single parents trying to raise
Their children
But they would much rather not alone
Reaches out to find that
Special someone
To make their house a home
Finds someone but no one is
The right one
Get down on their knees and
Starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

[Chorus]
You will know, lonely hearts
You'll know
Problems have solutions
Trust and I will show
You will know
Lonely heart you'll know
Every life has reasons for I made it so

Mary Mary

Mary Mary is an American contemporary gospel duo, consisting of sisters Erica Atkins-Campbell (born April 29, 1972)[1] and Trecina Atkins-Campbell (born May 1, 1974). The duo are often credited along with Kirk Franklin for broadening the fan base of urban contemporary gospel in the 2000s by introducing elements of soul music, hip hop, funk and jazz. Mary Mary broke onto the music scene with their popular song “Shackles (Praise You)"—which is considered one of the pioneering songs of urban contemporary gospel music. The group’s name, as stated in an interview is inspired by the two famous Marys from the Bible; Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and Mary Magdalene.

The sisters were born Erica Monique Atkins and Trecina Evette Atkins in Inglewood, California. The Atkins sisters grew up as part of a large family of nine children in Inglewood, California.[citation needed] Their parents are mother Thomasina Atkins, an evangelist and choir director at the Evangelistic Church of God in Christ, and father Eddie A. Atkins, an Elder in the Church of God In Christ and Gang/Youth Counselor. Their mother and father were married and divorced three times when their father, Eddie, died in 2013.[citation needed]

Due to their proximity in age, the two sisters grew up closer to one another than to any of their seven siblings. The Atkins children Darrell Atkins (born 1965; the only living boy, as a second boy died as a child); Maliea Atkins (born 1967); Erica and Tina (born 1972 and 1974); Delisa Atkins-Brown (born 1977); Thomasina Atkins (born 1979); Alana Atkins-Jamison (born 1985) and Shanta Atkins (born 1986). (Thomasina, Alana, Delisa and Shanta Atkins all sing background on Mary Mary albums and in stage performances.)
